Chapter 8: The Jade Mischief
The next day, Zhao Fangjin took Zhao Fangyu to school together.
The way to my home school is very quiet. The flowers are in full bloom in the spring, creating a beautiful scene.
Zhao Fanglan moved lightly and changed into an Oubei pleated skirt. Her coat was still white, but with a different pattern.
She held a lacquered fan and waved it gently, while the maid beside her had to carry a school box and hold an umbrella for her.
Zhao Fangjin pretended not to see Zhao Fanglan, but Zhao Fanglan could not do so. He frowned and stepped forward to salute.
When they got home, Zhao Fangwei and Zhao Fangyun were already there. Especially Zhao Fangyun, his eyes were red, and when he saw Zhao Fangyu coming in, he snorted in dissatisfaction.
Zhao Fangyu looked at Zhao Fangwei aggrievedly: "Second sister, I didn't offend Fifth Sister today."
Zhao Fangwei smiled and handed Zhao Fangyu a piece of dessert: "She had a nightmare last night and has been restless all morning. Just ignore her."
Zhao Fangwei is also very distressed about this sister who she cannot bring up. How come the children raised by the same parents are so different?
It's impossible that since we are born from the same mother, the brain belongs to me, right?
Zhao Fangwei couldn't understand why Xiaoliu was so smart at such a young age, but the older sister, the fifth sister, was as stupid as a pig?
But ever since the death of the sixth sister, the aunt has been treating the fifth sister like the apple of her eye. Even if Zhao Fangwei wants to teach her, she has to get through the aunt Song first.
Zhao Fangyu nodded and sat down behind Zhao Fanglan.
The seats in the family school were arranged according to age. The eldest and second daughters sat in the first row, and behind them were Zhao Fanglan and Zhao Fangyu.
On the other side of the wall are the three brothers in the family.
This was originally a converted flower hall. Boys and girls aged seven sat at different seats, separated for the convenience of the teacher. The girls' lessons were not in-depth, mostly just for enlightenment, so the teacher would first give a brief explanation to the girls and then go to teach the boys.
The eldest son Zhao Zhihuai, the second son Zhao Zhirun, born to the first wife, and Zhao Zhiyuan, born to concubine Zhang, were all in the small study separated by a wall.
Zhao Zhiyuan and Zhao Fanglan are siblings from the same mother. Because the only illegitimate son is her biological brother, this is also the reason why Zhao Fanglan dares to stir up trouble.
After Zhao Fangyu looked around, the teacher came in to give a lecture.
Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangyun had just started to learn, and going to school was just a side job. The teacher's main teaching objects were still the two legitimate sons in the family.
The teacher's words had a strange rhythm, completely different from the teachers Zhao Fangyu attended school in the 21st century.
I don't mind it, I'm just a little uncomfortable.
The teacher was explaining the Four Books. From the women's quarters, one could hear the teacher testing two boys next door, separated by a wall. After listening for a while, Zhao Fangyu secretly read the Three Character Classic and learned some ancient Chinese characters.
Zhao Fangyu was so absorbed in reading the Three Character Classic that he learned a lot of characters in just one class.
I even picked up a pen and drew on paper.
It was almost time for school to end before the teacher came over to teach Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangyun.
Because of their similar age, Zhao Fangyun and Zhao Fangyu entered the family school at the same time.
As soon as the teacher arrived, he saw the words written by Zhao Fangyu, picked them up and looked at them, and then commented: "It's a good thing to have the intention, but for a girl, it's better to wait until she is seven years old before practicing calligraphy."
Zhao Fangyu nodded obediently.
The teacher asked Zhao Fangyu to recite the Three Character Classic that he had taught in the past. Although he had not attended the class for more than two months, he had spent more than two hours reading the Three Character Classic. He was not at all nervous about the test and was as steady as an old dog.
"Wait, what's that behind you?"
Zhao Fangyu was confused: "Is there anything behind the student?"
Zhao Fangwei frowned and immediately realized something was wrong. When she saw Zhao Fangyun's mouth curled up, she knew that something serious had happened, so she immediately called Zhao Fangyu to turn around and take a look.
"Fifth sister... you are in such a good mood."
Zhao Fangjin, not only Zhao Fangjin, but everyone in the entire school looked at Zhao Fangyu's back.
On the back of the snow-blue jacket, someone drew a huge black turtle!
Zhao Fangyu had just been praised by his teacher for not forgetting his lessons, but the next moment he was bullied by Zhao Fangyun. No one in Qingping Court could sit still.
"Yueji! Go to Qingping Courtyard and find a change of clothes for your daughter!"
Zhao Fangwei gave instructions quickly, and Zhao Fangyun was called up by the teacher: "The picture behind the fourth lady was drawn by the fifth lady."
Zhao Fangyun gritted his teeth and said no.
"So the Fifth Lady is saying that the Fourth Lady deliberately wore a dress with an ink pattern on the back to come to the academy to frame you?"
Zhao Fangyun immediately nodded rapidly, but after nodding a few times he shook his head frantically.
"So where does Fifth Miss think the picture behind Fourth Miss came from?"
There seemed to be ice chips in the gentleman's voice, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
Zhao Fangyun refused to admit it, but she couldn't give a reasonable explanation. Everyone in the school knew that the big black turtle behind Zhao Fangyu was related to her just by looking at her expression, but she lied and refused to admit it.
"The fourth girl has just recovered from a serious illness but she still hasn't forgotten to study. She can recite every word of the Three Character Classic correctly. How about the fifth girl? Can she recite even half of it?"
Zhao Fangyun nodded and nodded, opening and closing his mouth. When he got to the three talents, heaven, earth and man, he stuttered and could not recite any more.
Zhao Fangyu lowered her head, and no one could see her expression or whether she was trying to hold back a smile.
How could she not feel that someone was painting behind her?
It's just a trick to trigger a fatal blow.
After school, Zhao Fangyun was still kept after class by the teacher. Zhao Fangwei apologized to Zhao Fangyu and took the initiative to give Zhao Fangyu some small gifts before letting Zhao Fangyu go.
"The Fifth Miss got so excited that our girl has no clothes to wear."
Xiangyao looked at the clothes in the closet and felt worried.
It's not that the Zhao family is stingy. Every year, the Zhao family gives the young ladies in the mansion sixteen new dresses, four sets per season, three sets for daily wear and one set for visiting guests. This is enough to be considered wealthy.
In an average family, a concubine's daughter would only make four or five new clothes a year.
If you want more, you have to buy or make it yourself.
It was spring now, and one of Zhao Fangyu's four spring dresses was damaged by painting today, and another was torn by water that day.
There was only one set of clothes left for daily changes, which was not enough.
If I wore a grown-up girl's clothes to school, it would be a slap in the face of the lady...
Zhao Fangyu didn't even raise his head: "It's okay, don't we still have last year's clothes?"
"All the jackets are torn, but the skirts are intact. Pick out two pieces of clothes from last fall to wear."
Xiangyao was not very happy, but there was really no better way.
I can only dig out the jacket I wore last fall.
"Why didn't the Fourth Miss complain to the Madam? What the Fifth Miss did was outrageous, and the young lady would never accept the consequences."
Chunshao was adding spices to the incense burner on the side. There were only three of them in the room, so Chunshao spoke more boldly.
Zhao Fangyu sat in front of the window and recited his lessons without changing his expression.
"Sisters in the same family are quarreling and making mother upset. It's just that the fifth sister is young and ignorant. It's not worth it for mother to go to the sewing room for a piece of clothing."
"I am the elder sister after all. I just said yesterday that I would take care of my younger sister. How can I go to my mother and expose her shortcomings today? What kind of person would I be then?"
Chunshao stopped talking, and Zhao Fangyu breathed a sigh of relief. After Chunshao left, Zhao Fangyu whispered to Xiangyao, who had come to exchange snacks, "Be careful of Chunshao."
It's only the third day since he came here, and he already dared to instigate her to go to the main court to complain. It's obvious that he is not a good person.
